We often see a footballer player on the pitch scoring goals for his team. But do you know, besides being dedicated to the game, many of them have hobbies and talents that can surprise you? In this article, you will find a list of five famous football players who can actually sing very well. Read on to find out.
1. Memphis Depay
Memphis Depay used to play for Barcelona in the forward position. Not only is he a talented footballer, but he also positions himself as a musician. He started his music career in 2017. The music style he chose to delve into is hip-hop, and he released his first album in 2020 called Heavy Stepper.
2. Alisson Becker
Alisson Becker is a better singer than you can imagine. He is able to balance between the time for music and that for football. The Brazilian goalkeeper has an affinity for rock, and he even got a chance to cover “Don’t Look Back In Anger” by Oasis in a viral video.
Alisson then had an opportunity to make a session with Jamie Webster to sing the song “Allez, Allez, Allez”. This song is most knowing at motivating other players in the team.
3. Jesé Rodríguez
Before going for music, he was a former Real Madrid player and two time winner of the Champions League. In 2014, he and his best friend DJ Nuno fprmed a band together. It is all about reggae with a touch of typical Spanish musical genre. One year later, he released a song called “Yo Sabia” under a brand-new nickname Jey M. The song was well-received with more than 30 million views on YouTube.
4. Sergio Ramos
Although Sergio Ramos did not have a quite good image on the pitch with so many red cards handed, his talent in music should not be doubted. In 2016, he shook hands with Niña Pastori and RedOne to come up with a song titled “La Roja Baila.” The song is so liked to the point that it was chosen to become the official anthem of the national team for the 2016 European Championship.
In 2023, Ramos released a song with a Spanish musical group called Los Yakis, formed by three brothers—Miguel, Dani, and Moisés—who perform in the salsa flamenco genre. The song by Los Yakis featuring Sergio Ramos was released under the title “No Me Contradigas,” dedicated especially to Christmas and family moments.
5. Amadou Onana
Amadou Onana is a young 22-year-old player who moved from Everton to Aston Villa for an exorbitant $60m fee. What many don’t know is that the Belgian midfielder’s singing skills became widely known after he posted a short video singing “You don’t know what love is” by Summer Walker. It was a present to his fans from all over the world. Just a few days later, lots of them were blown away because his voice was so beautiful and inspiring.
Actually, in November 2022, he was seen singing a song right before a game against Morocco. The appreciation for his voice only rolled around when he published a singing video on the Internet.
